I NEED YOU
Aristotle the legendary Greek philosopher said, “Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human. Society precedes the individual.” As humans, we need ourselves, man cannot live in isolation. He must satisfy certain natural basic needs in order to survive. He has to enter into relationships with his fellowmen for living a life. It is said that no man can break the shackles of dependence. This begins perhaps between the embryo may be more physical than mental, but the mother’s need is the other way round. Sociology has taken it upon itself to study human beings in societies and to provide some solutions to some problems facing social relationships among men.
In essence, as humans, we need ourselves. There is a trusted fact, “no man is an island.” There is this need in us that can’t be satisfied without others. Think about having all the money in the world without someone else to exchange it for value and vice versa. Relationships could be the greatest assets you’d ever need. Although, everyone cannot need everybody certainly, everyone does need someone. Be trustworthy enough to be there for people and they will surely be there for you. There is no good relationship without trust and trust can’t come without being trustworthy.
Value every relationship you have with people, don’t ‘use’ people and don’t manipulate them. As a relationship could be the best thing you could ever have, it could also be the worst thing you would never want to have. Just as a knife is very useful in the kitchen, it could be very dangerous in the hands of an armed robber. Anything could be abused including relationships. Be vigilant and alert to know the good ones to retain them and the bad ones to discard them.
Remember, wisdom is profitable to direct. In as much as you need to relate with people, cautiousness is imperatively needed. Lailah Gifty Akita rightfully advises, "Live with caution. Life is fragile." You only live once remember? Take your time and be the kind of person you would love to attract.
